Nineteen Minutes

Nineteen Minutes by Picoult, Jodi. mass_market edition. ISBN: 9781741758085.

Set in a small town in the wake of a horrific school shooting, Nineteen Minutes features the return of two beloved Picoult characters - Jordan McAfee, the lawyer from The Pact and Salem Falls, who once again finds himself representing a boy who desperately needs someone on his side; and Patrick Ducharme, the intrepid detective introduced in Perfect Match, whose best witness is the daughter of the superior court judge assigned to the case. As the story unfolds, layer after layer is peeled back to ask some hard-hitting questions about the nature of justice, the balance of power and what it means to be different.
